The former photograph was taken last May 18 on the North's last passage out of Lake Michigan, bound for Lake Erie. After that, in 1963, for the first time in one hundred and thirty years or more, one could no longer book passage on a lake passenger liner from a Lake Michigan port to places on the other Great Lakes. On her Labor Day cruise, South American passed under the Mackinac Straits Bridge in turn for an hour's cruise in Lake Michigan before making her scheduled call at Mackinac Island.

Business Meeting Friday, January 3, 1964 Dossin Museum, 8 p.m. A meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled for this date to avoid the rush of Christmas holidays. All members and visitors are welcome, General Meeting Friday, January 31, 1964 Dossin Museum, 8 p.m. Bill Hoey will present a motion picture from films he has taken over the past three years, showing eight passenger vessels of the lakes. He is also trying to obtain a Canadian Pacific Railway film which illustrates their liners Assiniboia, Keewatin and the now-scrapped Manitoba. Model shipbuilders will gather informally on Saturday evening, January 4, about 7:30 p. m. Michael O'Brien will exhibit the small-scale ship models he has built over a number of years. Such models, being a building operation within reach of an individual modeller (as opposed to a collection of eighth-scale models, for instance), offer a good way to compare or contrast a number of ships. These models are very handsomely detailed as well, showing what can be done in small scale work. Some rare ship plans and other parts of his collection will be on view. Meeting place is not yet certain; telephone Dossin Museum for further details. We hope to be meeting this way about every other month, probably the Saturday after each Institute business meeting.
